If so, I'd like to know about that questions:

  • Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
  • Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
  • What type of AI do you use?
  • Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?

Mainly use it as a documentation search for APIs I'm not familiar with, or when I'm not sure what options there are to approach a problem. I work with unreal engine a lot, so I'd get a few pointers from an LLM first, then go read the source code of those APIs and inplement the rest myself.
